• Step Five :
  Disconnect the SATA power and cable from the hard drive which is located in the upper top center of the case.

• Step Six:
  Unscrew the two screw from the mounting bracket from the hard drive and gently lift it out, making sure no cables are stuck onto the bracket.

• Step Seven:
  Remove the brackets from your old hard drive and place them on your new hard drive.
